I remember Silent Service very well! :rotfl: I still have it with the box and book all in good condition. I always thought that guy in the white sweater and jeans looked out of place. :-j I had Silent Service for NES the same time I had Command: Aces of the Deep. There was a point when I couldn't play CAOD because my computer at the time was a real piece of crap. CAOD was given to me before I actually had a computer that could handle it. I would play CAOD on a friend's computer. When I finally was able to play CAOD on my own computer that could handle it, it was a custom machine that kept freezing all the time. Eventually it went back and I had to put up with my crappy one again (Windows 3.1, 1MB RAM, floppy drives for both sizes, 8MHz (had a turbo button for 16MHz woohoo!! :roll: :lol: )). That was when I started playing Silent Service. I liked the game, but it just wasn't CAOD. When I got a computer that could finally play CAOD I was overjoyed. I didn't play Silent Service much after that. Another sim I played alot was 688I Attack Sub on Sega Genesis. That game was really cool, although I never really knew what I was doing. After that, the only other sub sims I have played was Jane's 688(i) Hunter/Killer, Sub Command, Dangerous Water, and of course Silent Hunter III. I remember trying the demo to Silent Hunter I, but never got the actual game. Came close, though. :88)

Silent Service II on the Atari is certainly the reason I'm here.
It's almost strange how much I loved that game and actually got rather good at it, despite the fact that I was 9 years old and didn't know English - forget knowing anything about submarines! :lol: But memories of it were so persistent that it only took a few good previews of SHIII for me to know that I would be hooked... and here I am a year after release, still as hopelessly addicted as I was to SSII - but a little smarter :up: |
Ahh silent service was also the one that started it all for me. I played it on the c64 and the nes. Racked up loads of tonnage, but considering i was still a pup at the time not much tactical work went into it. wish i still had the game would be a heck of a nostalgia trip.

Or even better, get an emulator of your favorite system and voila you're back in 1985! I have an Atari 800xl emulator and sometimes load up a favorite game! :88) |

I played Silent Service and SSII on an Atari 520ST. I still have the Atari AND Silent Service II (as well as BattleHawks 1942, Their Finest Hour and Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe; plus Oids and Wizball).
Silent Hunter changed everything, and I don't play those old games anymore, but still remember them fondly. |
